Island-infused Progressive Acoustic Music.

With a second summer of festival performances under their belt - this time travelling around in a 1986 camper van - Fiftieth Parallel again hit the studio recording their new CD 'Open Sky'. 

Playing almost entirely original material, Fiftieth Parallel have been forming their own unique style of progressive acoustic music: drawing inspiration from artists such as John Butler and the late Michael Hedges, infusing it with the contagious West Coast vibe.

Despite being only a duo -- Phil Marchand (acoustic guitar), Jonathan Hinds (acoustic guitar and percussion) -- Fiftieth Parallel have made a name for themselves with their big natural sound.

Open Sky can be found along with 'Weapon Of The Future' (first full-length release) can be found at any Fiftieth Parallel show and at locations across Vancouver Island. Fiftieth Parallel are currently working with vocalist Ben O'Connor and have just released a 5 track EP which is also available at shows.
